I agree it is messing up our language for an example people text the way they actually speak. People text “L.O.L” to one and other i do not think it actually means laugh out loud anymore as people say the phrase when nothing is even amusing i think people use it for sarcasm.

People use the emojis off the internet to show their facial expressions or to show how they feel, theres a lot of emojis such as: laughthing face, smiling face, crying face and thumbs up and down and there is alot more. There good and bad for an example if am happy i would send a smiling face on the other hand if am not happy or angry ki will put a straight face. Internet is wrecking our language such as google.

Technolidgy and the internet is just adding more existing words for an example wireless should be for radio communication on the other hand it is used for the internet such as social networking: facebook, instagram, snapchat, twitter and alot more. The internet actually added more verbs and nouns, google added more words thats not in an actuall dictonary.

I think the internet is actually a new thing it has been here since 1990 it hasnt been about for a long time. It is actually changing the way people communicate. people at a young age use slang i dont think older people use it if they do it is not as much as the younger people use it in my opinion.

When people use slang it just broudens our language by just adding more words or letters. What i think about slang i think it is actually street language. I think people use it as they cant be bothered to type normally with full punctuation. Think it as a long or short way of speaking.
